President Bush's "BannerGate" Shuffle

Watching the President dissembling about the banner on the Lincoln at that press conference gave me the same feeling I had when I first say President Clinton say "I did not have sexual relations with that women". Then as now I was thinking in my head "This man is lying". Of course I can't prove it, but it seems unbelievable that the most carefully stage managed white house ever, which has made banners behind the president at all his speaking events somewhat of a trademark didn't bear full responsibility for this banner which they are now trying to push off on the Navy.

Accountability my ass. At least have some balls and stick to your guns.
 
Bush is featured as Slate's Whopper of the Week. Watch the lying liars fall all over themselves:

"Q: Mr. President, if I may take you back to May 1st when you stood on the USS Lincoln under a huge banner that said, "Mission Accomplished." At that time you declared major combat operations [in Iraq] were over, but since that time there have been over 1,000 wounded, many of them amputees who are recovering at Walter Reed [Army Hospital], 217 killed in action since that date. Will you acknowledge now that you were premature in making those remarks?

"A: Nora, I think you ought to look at my speech. I said, Iraq is a dangerous place and we've still got hard work to do; there's still more to be done. And we had just come off a very successful military operation. I was there to thank the troops.

"The 'Mission Accomplished' sign, of course, was put up by the members of the USS Abraham Lincoln, saying that their mission was accomplished. I know it was attributed somehow to some ingenious advance man from my staff?they weren't that ingenious, by the way [italics Chatterbox's]."

?President Bush at his Oct. 28 press conference.

"It was the Navy, the people on board the ship who had the idea of this banner and made the suggestion, because they wanted to have a way to commemorate the fact that these sailors and the crew on board the ship had completed their mission, after a very lengthy deployment. ? And they asked?they asked if we could help take care of the production of the banner. And we more than happy to do so."

?Presidential spokesman Scott McClellan at his Oct. 29 press briefing.
 
The banner is not the reason why we want Bush out. Its only a drop in the pool of lies Bush has fed to us. According to him, every problem is everyone elses fault. And we're good and the enemy is pure evil
 
According to the left, everything is GWB's fault.

Yes indeed bin Turd is not evil, but just misunderstood.

Does that absolve him for the Right on the mistakes he did make?
